THE DOGS OF THE YANGPYUNG CITY POUND

November 20, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Director & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

In an industrial like building there are rows upon rows of kennels and the sounds of loud barking echoing through. As you walk down each aisle, scurrying little feet follow you along, begging for pets and starving for attention. These are the residents of the Yangpyung Pound – a high kill city shelter.

In Search of Forever Home

August 28, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Director & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Dari was rescued from a fishing dock last spring. She was seen roaming around the area for several weeks searching for food and scavenging for food scraps. She had become known in the area, and it became clear she needed to be rescued before being picked up for euthanasia or sold to a meat seller.

After our 12-year-old Labrador Retriever-mix Oreo passed away, my husband and I said we would never have another dog again. We had adopted Oreo in 2006, when he was only 5 months old. He was an integral part of our young adult lives as we transitioned from one stage to the next.
